The committee is headed by District Judge Ron Rangel. Through the new committee, inmates are given a postcard with a phone number and instructions on how to reach the committee to discuss concerns about their court-appointed attorney. As soon as we get that contact, the attorney review committee sets it up, Rangel said. We want to make sure that our court-appointed attorneys have transparency that they feel confident that we are behind them.RELATED: Bexar County judge proposes new specialty court amid domestic violence case spike this year
